AFFIDAVIT-OF HARVEY LALK

<ON REED CONTENTION 3.(STAFFING -

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR)

County of Gasconade )

) ss.

State of Missouri )

HARVEY LALK, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I am the Emergency Management-Director ("EMD") for Gasconade County. .I am retired from full-time employment. I was. born and raised in Gasconade County. I worked as a budget

-program analyst for the U.S. Government for 32 years, and returned to Gasconade County approximately 3-1/2. years ago. I have personal-knowledge of the' matters stated herein and

~

-believe.them to be true and correct. I make this. affidavit in.

response to Reed Contention 3 (Staffing - Emergency Management Director). -~

2. A portion of Gasconade County (approximately 2 square miles, in which approximately 200 people reside) is located in the.Callaway Plant plume exposure pathway emergency planning _ .. . _ ~ .

1 zone ("EPZ").

3. In my capacity as the Gasconade County EMD, I have been working and will continue to work with Gasconade County-4

. government officials to ensure that they are satisfied with the Gasconade Emergency Response Plan ("Gasconade Plan"). This is i

an ongoing process, involving numerous meetings with Gasconade County officials, State officials, officials from the other counties in the EPZ, and with representatives.from Union l Electric Company.

4. In Contention 3, Mr. Reed ' states that a full-time f Gasconade County EMD is necessary.
5. I disagree with Mr. Reed's assessment that a full-time i EMD-is necessary in Gasconade County. The technical expertise to which Mr. Reed refers in Contention 3 is not supposed to 4 come from the EMD; rather, technically qualified individuals will be available to advise the Presiding Judge from the State and from Union Electric Company. For example, the Bureau of Radiological Health is responsible for answering our questions-

.about radiological defense. In addition, in-the event of a i

radiological emergency at the Callaway Plant, numerous techni- l cal experts from various federal agencies will be available to J

assist, as needed. The EMD is responsible for the development and coordination of the county's emergency preparedness program

-- an effort which precedes any emergency. In_ addition,_during an emergency, the EMD is'available to the Presiding Judge to provide assistance and advice in coordinating the emergency resp'onse effort. The specific tasks assigned to the EMD all relate to'the practical aspects of. implementation of the Gasconade Plan. These are not technical tasks. Rather, they depend upon the individual's familiarity with the Gasconade Plan, its relationship to the entire off-site emergency response effort, and the resources and unique problems of the county. Furthermore, to the extent the EMD needs to be l

tamiliar with any technical matters, he will receive specific' i training in these areas from the state of Missouri, supple-mented as needed by Union Electric Company.

6. In my view, it will take approximately 10 to 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of work each week to resolve the many issues involved in county emergency preparedness, of which radiological preparedness is one part. Once the plans are signed, I expect less of my time to be required to keep the plans current and resolve.any issues which arise from time to time.
7. I believe-that I am capable of serving as the Gasconade County EMD while holding this position on a part-time-

-- b a si s . While I have been busy at times during.my tenure as EMD, 'I,.have been and will continue to be-able -to provide-- -
